Three years later...
Arina : Kurama. Did you receive their wedding invite ?
Kurama : ah. I did
Arina : mmm... I've to go pick out a new dress. Culture says can't wear black. Maybe red or blue.
Kurama: they finally got together neh. Keiko-chan and Yuseke.
Arina : um um. I'm so happy I can attend their wedding. I've heard so much about it. It must be really grand and beautiful.
Kurama ; you sound excited , as if it's your own.
Arina : yokais don't have weddings. That I know. But it must be fun to attend one.

Arina : uhno... Shizuru-san. Bridesmaid... What do they do ?
Shizuru: ah. I forgot you don't know about these kind of things.
Arina : are they really important ?
Keiko : it's ok. One day she'll be a bride too and she'll understand .
Arina : that's impossible. Yokais have no weddings. The most we get are marital rites to give each other status.
Shizuru: marital rites are like weddings, are they not ?
Arina shakes her head " yokai marital rites aren't as grand as weddings. It's a very simple rite. The status given to each other by each other is only upheld by each other."
Shizuru: I don't really get it, but it means wife and husband right ?
Arina : um. Just not as grand as this. It's so exciting to attend.
Shizuru : maaa... Our bride is excited to get married too.
Keiko blushed " shizuru-san !!"

Everyone bore witness to Yuseke and Keiko walking down the aisle and taking their wedding vows to become husband and wife. Everyone clapped as they kissed to celebrate their new union.
Kurama: do you like this ? Human wedding.
Arina : it's all grand and there's so many people. Like a party. Everything is white, as if symbolism of pure. So pretty.
Kurama : how about we do this too ?
Arina blushed a little " what are you talking about... "
Kurama : I'm asking you to marry me.
Arina : now ?
Kurama : ah. Boku kekonshite kudasai.
( Please marry me )
" Hmph. Haven't you waited long for this ? " Hiei spoke from behind as he sat right behind them. Her face went full flush red " just shut up !! Hiei !!"
Kurama : Arina. You haven't answered me.
Arina : .... Hai. Onegaishimasu. Kurama.
(Yes. Please)
